A MiniSte PerQuisitas.

The perquisites of minister's life
are, as a general thing, everest mated
An old clergyman firmly believed this,
who had received call from small
church in the eastern part of this State.
FROM a much larger parish in Mas
sachuesetts. A delegation from the
church was sent to urge him TO accept
the call. He asked them what the sal
airy was. They replied that it was
about 5000 per year but that the peo-
pie were very generous and were con-
tinualy bringing things in to the min
lister. well. said he, II don't wish
to offend YOU, but must positively de-
cline, And now let me give you a lit
tie bit of my experience: In my Young
er days | received a call to small par
ish where, as IA the case with your
people, they were very liberal. 1t was
their custom TO always give the minis
ter ball OF butter when they churned,
and quarter of veal when they
slaughtered. i accepted the call.
things went along as they were repre-
scented during the first year. After
that there began to be a falling off in
their donations, until soon / received
hardly anything. i began to make in
quirles. One of my parishioners told
me i gave perfect satisfaction, but the
people had begun to raise Their calves.
And it has been my experience, con-
tinued the old minister. that donating
parishioners soon begin to raise their
calves "-LeWiSton (ue. )Journal.
